Chapter 66
Reincarnation
A few hours later, Hyuga Gen, with a somewhat annoyed expression, sincerely asked Akiyama Rinko:
"Rinko, you must have heard of our demons' chess pieces, right? They can increase the strength of a reincarnated person many times over. Would you like to become my familiar?"
Upon hearing that Hyuga Gen possessed a demon chess piece capable of enhancing the strength of his familiars, Akiyama Rinko was visibly surprised, while two voices echoed in her mind simultaneously.
"Say yes, say yes, that way you can protect him better."
"I can't agree to that, Rinko. You're an anti-demon ninja; have you forgotten your mission?"
"Me, me."
"Don't you feel happy with him? You can stay with him forever after becoming a demon. If not, you'll be too old to look at in twenty years. Will you still have the face to see him then? Can you bear to?"
"Enough!!"
Rinko Akiyama's mind was in complete turmoil. Her reason told her that she absolutely could not become a demon, and she absolutely could not become a disgrace to the Akiyama family.
But her instincts made her yearn to become a demon, after all, it was an increase in power and the temptation of immortality. Who in this world could resist that?
Not to mention the love for Hyuga Gen that had been in her heart for who knows how long.
Thinking of Hyuga Gen, Akiyama Rinko looked at the man, tears welling up in her eyes, and murmured:
"Lord Hyuga, what should I do?"
Seeing Akiyama Rinko like this, Hyuga Gen felt a pang of pity, but in order for her to become his most loyal companion, he had no choice but to do this and had to harden his heart.
"Rinko, being reincarnated as a demon doesn't mean you have to give up your identity as a demon ninja. You can continue to be one. I can accompany you on missions. If you don't reveal your demon identity, who will know you're a demon?"
"Besides, the ancestors of the Demon Ninja were also half-demon and half-human, otherwise where would their magic come from? Wouldn't becoming a demon and increasing their strength be the best way to eliminate demons and protect the peace of Tokyo?"
As Rinko Akiyama listened to Gen Hyuga's constant seduction, her defenses began to crumble rapidly.
"Really? Hyuga-sama?"
"Really, Rinko, believe me, I am the person who loves you most in this world, and I would never lie to you."
Even though Rinko Akiyama knew that Gen Hinata was lying, she couldn't help but want to believe him.
After a long silence, Akiyama Rinko finally nodded, her tears turning into a smile:
"Hyuga-sama, love me!"
After saying that, she threw herself into Hyuga Gen's arms.
Knowing that Akiyama Rinko had agreed, Hinata Genya was deeply moved. He kissed Akiyama Rinko passionately for more than ten minutes before finally letting go.
"Don't worry, Rinko. No matter how many women I have in the future, you will always be the one I love the most."
Hearing that Hyuga Gen would have many women, Akiyama Rinko didn't care at all; such things were commonplace in her family.
Then, Akiyama Rinko buried her head in Hyuga Gen's chest, greedily inhaling his scent, murmuring:
"Yes, Hyuga-sama, I believe you."
Upon hearing Akiyama Rinko no longer refer to herself as "this humble one," Hinata Gen could no longer suppress his emotions and once again held them back.
Several more hours passed, and it was now past midnight.
The principal returned once during the day, chatted briefly with the butler while he was guarding the gate, and then went home without asking what Hyuga Gen was doing inside.
The butler, who was on duty outside, looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's been so long since I've guarded the gate for my masters. I really miss it."
Mingming, who had already returned, was speechless after hearing this. What was there to miss about guarding the gate?
Just then, the door to the principal's office was suddenly opened from the inside, and the butler and Mingming saw Hyuga Gen walking out with Akiyama Rinko in his arms.
"Butler, come in here for a moment. I need your help with something."
"And me?"
Seeing that Hyuga Gen only called him "butler" and not "himself," he had a vague feeling that he had been offended.
"What's wrong with this guy lately? Ever since Rinko Akiyama came, he seems to think I'm dispensable."
"Although I'm a little hesitant to approach him right now, I can't just ignore him like this, or it'll make me seem like I have no charm at all."
Seeing Mingming ask him, Hyuga Gen smiled and said:
"Sister Mingming, please wait here for a while. We'll be right out after we finish our business."
Looking at the tightly closed wooden door, Mingming suddenly felt a little angry and stomped her feet on the floor a few times.
Then he took out his phone, opened the selfie camera, fiddled with the large braid in front of his forehead for a few moments, and muttered to himself:
"Should I get a new hairstyle? This guy, Hinata Gen, is such a pervert, yet he doesn't even have any feelings for me. It's unbearable."
After bringing the butler into his office alone, Hyuga Gen got straight to the point:
"Butler, I want to turn Rinko into my familiar. Although I have the specific steps in mind, I'm still a little worried."
The butler readily agreed, and after they entered the office, Hyuga Gen began setting up the magic array under the butler's guidance.
After setting up the magic circle, looking at the different chess pieces in his hand, he thought for a moment and took out the knight chess piece, which mainly increased attack and movement speed, and put the others back into his body.
After glancing at Akiyama Rinko, who was already lying in the middle of the magic circle ready, Hyuga Gen took a deep breath and slowly used magic to manipulate the chess piece in his hand, inserting it into her chest.
Then, in a low, chanting voice:
"I..."
After saying two words, Hyuga Gen stopped and looked at the butler with pleading eyes.
"Butler, you still haven't told me what my demon's name is."
The butler frowned upon hearing this. The master and mistress hadn't given the young master a devilish name, but that was a minor matter.
"Young Master, a name is just a symbol. What name you have is not important. You can use your current name as well."
After hearing this, Hyuga Gen continued to chant softly.
"In the name of Hyuga Gen, I hereby command that you, Akiyama Rinko, become my demon servant from this day forward. From this day forward, you will be my knight, accompanying me for the rest of my life. Now, return with a new life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle blazed red, and at the same time, the magic power within Hyuga Gen's body was rapidly drawn out by the magic circle.
Seeing that Hinata Gen's face was pale, the butler immediately put his right hand on his shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure magical energy replenished Hyuga Gen's body.
After receiving the butler's magical replenishment, Hyuga Gen's complexion improved. He nodded his thanks to the butler and then focused all his attention on the reincarnation ceremony.
The entire process lasted for ten minutes before the red light emanating from the magic circle slowly dissipated, revealing Rinko Akiyama's figure.
